Trip: Colchuck Balanced Rock - West Face
Date: 7/3/2009
Trip Report:
I know, over TR'd, but oh well...
I caddied for Pat Sullivan (Spiderman) last Friday on Colchuck Balanced Rock. Pat birdied the first two 5.11 cruxes, and bogied the 5.12 pitch, just missing the on-sight of the route. He rested a bit, scoped and sent the crux easily.
Following are some photos:

Yeah, you get to avoid Aasgard.
